It reads full construction drawing sets and counts the equipment, so quote desks bid faster. Takeoffs that took 4 to 8 hours finish in under 20 minutes. Upload any drawing set and Monaro extracts the equipment: types, model numbers, specs and quantities, structured and ready to quote. Every diffuser, grille, fan and fixture is counted across every floor, and each count links back to the tag on the sheet it came from, so estimators can verify any number in one click. Monaro does not guess. When a drawing is unclear, when a tag has no matching schedule entry, or when a schedule conflicts with the plan, the item is flagged for estimator review instead of being counted silently. Your estimator stays in control of every judgment call, and the takeoff shows its work: open any total to see exactly how it was built, unit by unit. Once the takeoff is verified, quoting happens inside Monaro. Supplier pricing sits beside the counts, margins are set with confidence, and quotes go out the same day. Monaro is built for quotations teams, inside sales and estimators at wholesale distributors. It handles equipment takeoff only: no pipe, fittings, labour or full materials BOMs. There are no templates to build and no training to sit through. If you can read a drawing, you can use Monaro. Teams start with a free trial, no credit card required, and run their first takeoff the same day. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 3 users.
